The US government shutdown this time, which is the longest in history, has put pressure on the performance of the US dollar, which was previously strengthening.
Once again under the leadership of Donald Trump, the 'government shutdown' situation has exceeded 35 days from the record in 2019.
Analysts see that pressure has begun to envelop the US dollar again with the publication of the NFP employment report this week also expected to be postponed again.
This will somewhat slow down the market and also the central bank in assessing the right decision for further monetary policy.
Meanwhile, the focus of Thursday's trading was the Bank of England (BOE) monetary policy meeting results which met the forecast with the interest rate maintained at 4.00% for the November meeting.

In a follow-up statement by Governor Andrew Bailey, the UK inflation rate needs to fall towards target for the central bank to be ready to proceed with further interest rate cuts.
The Pound briefly fell in the initial reaction to the meeting's decision before gradually recovering against the US dollar towards the close of trading in New York.
The NFP report is expected to be delayed, investors will watch the Canadian jobs report in New York tonight (Friday) and remain vigilant to the risk of market volatility at the end of the week.
